View Full Version : NEC motorcycle show
Whos going to it this year? http://www.motorcycleshow.co.uk/
Later this year - 23rd Nov - 2nd December but says its an all new look, likely due to the decreasing numbers they saw last year. Ill be going again on the coach along with my dad, Tim in Belgium and a few others.
Looks like theyve got a few more "experiences" including off road exp and buell slow handling control course. Ill be getting my shopping list together again to see if I can get any bargains (hasnt happened in last couple of years!)
Thinking of heading up there on the Monday.

Probably be going but not sure when. Will be going in the car since I don't fancy taking things back on the bike, with a pillion too...! (same as last year then :p)
Last Thurday or Friday for me.
i would like to go, but i dont need anything & i dont want to look at bikes i cant afford, & dont have anyone to go with.
what i might do is get a few of my freinds to park in my garage & have my own bike show
what do you think?

It wouldn't be quite the same.
Whenever I go it shocks me just to see how many people there have injuries. Last time I saw poor guy in a bad way with pins in his leg and it put me right off. Shame really.

I went to the Ingliston show on crutches, you get so much love, waves from every passing bike on the way home :D Didn't have the heart to tell people I'd not done it riding.
Hovis, to complete the effect you need to add 20 dodgy looking geezers all selling the same rubbish leathers and tools.

Just booked my ticket.
I'll probably go down on one of the last few days. I'll try for the Friday, but it depends on work. I'd rather miss the weekend crowd.
I say I'm not going every year and then in a fit of boredom I end up going...
This year is no different, I'm not going...

staying away from the BM riders bowing down to charlie " i Suck " Boreman, ..... "OOH shall i sign your helmet"...erm...no.. "go on you could sell it on ebay"...get away from me... i dont want your autograph... *starts running*
Leave me alone you... Freakin.. Plum.. "i can sign your leathers"... youve gone wrong.. *Charlie gives up chase and turns to the next person he sees*....
I should be going up, it'll be on one of the Fridays though..

It was some old rover diesel.....Fuel pump and the rest got glogged with bits of battered cod:eek:

LOL, did you not try filtering any of that out before putting the oil into the car?!
dont think the process of filtering and mixing the right chemicals were followed, made it to just shy of birmingham so not to bad, decided we had to turn back as we were averaging 15 mph....
I was really dissapointed not making it but it was still an experience to remember......This we'll take the bbikes this year :rolleyes:
was going to be going. tickets and flights booked. got flights for 2p down and 2.99 back they then added on charges and taxes increasing it to £42. still not bad. unfortunately they changed my flights. now i leave glasgow at 1330 arrive birmingham 1440 which is not too back but flight back same day leave birmingham 1130am and arrive glasgow 1245. i arrive home 45 minutes before I leave. have asked for refund and so far only got a credit note. so no not going
